Saxon Carola Medal

[Stogieman]

Does anyone have a good example of this medal to share? I know they’re being faked.

[VtwinVince]

I have a cased example Rick, will dig it out for scrutiny. I've been looking at that example on fleabay and some things I like, some I don't.

[Stogieman]

Looks good for me.

[Stogieman]

Thank you everyone, not sure if I’ll go for it, it’s outside my focus but very interesting!

[VtwinVince]

I made an offer but got no response.

Is it possible to see it ?

 

🤩

[Stogieman]

I made an offer too with no response, maybe a turkey coma

[VtwinVince]

Yup, just digging it out of storage for pictures.

[Stogieman]

Well, my offer was rejected 

[CRBeery]

I’m not liking this one and decided to leave it alone.

[Stogieman]

There was no bidding on this piece, haven’t seen it relisted

[VtwinVince]

Sorry for the delay, here are some pictures.

[Giannis S.]

First time seeing the case! 🤩

[Stogieman]

Wow Vince! That’s wonderful! Thanks!

[VtwinVince]

Glad you guys like it, I also have never seen another case for this medal.

[pinpon590]

Hi !

 

I have already see some case for this medal on several auction or to sell, but never possess one...

 

this one is stamped C.E. Kunath / Dresden (woeschler orden) :

 

 

 

 

This is a box as presented above, but for silver grade (I don't remember where the picture come from... Maybe Kuenker's auction...) :

 

 

😉

 

[pinpon590]

Furthermore, Kuenker offered for sale a lot of Carola Medals...

 

 

1st type (1892-1915) :

 

Bronze

 

 

 

 

 

Silver :

 

 

 

 

On bow ribon :

 

 

 

2nd type (1915-1918) :

 

bronze with clasp 1914-16 for men :

 

 

 

 

bronze with clasp 1914-16 for women :

 

 

 

 

And silver grade, on bow ribon, with clasp 1914-16 for women :

 

 

 

 

Clasp created May 22th 1916.

Looking very similar to the british clasps on crimea medals...

Wonderful information and images, thanks!

[VtwinVince]

Great stuff. I believe my case is the second type, but there seem to be several variants.

[Stogieman]

The medal I posted was relisted and sold for $85.00
